The emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, although the two bosses of Li and Guo Yan were seriously injured in the internal strife, and the morale was severely damaged by the enemy's robbery camp on the first night, but after a hard battle, the two thousand palace troops led by Yang Feng and Xu Huang still had less than 600 people who escaped the Yellow River and fled to Yixian County to meet with Han Xian and Dong Cheng's teams.

Speaking from the heart, with a strong enemy closely pursuing, the team of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, with a total of only more than 8,000 people, can successfully cross the river with more than 5,000 people, which is already a pretty great miracle, but our Yang Changshi scoffs at such a miracle, and feels that Yang Feng is simply stupid to take advantage of others in his own team! However, what we Yang Changshi didn't know was that because of listening to Jia Xu's advice and reconciliation, among the two thousand palace teams led by Yang Feng, there were only more than 600 troops that really belonged to Yang Feng's team, and the rest of the cannon fodder team was shared equally by Dong Cheng and Han Xian.

In any case, Yang Feng and Xu Huang were able to lead a rear team of nearly 600 to Yixian County, which still gave a shot in the arm to the fearful Han Xian Emperor's team, and also relieved Dong Cheng, who was weak in troops, and Han Xian, who had weak combat effectiveness. At the same time, there was also good news sent to Yixian, that is, Zhang Yang, who was the king of the army, sent someone to send the news, saying that he had urgently raised a batch of grain and grass in Yewang, and only waited for the team of Emperor Han Xian to arrive in Yicheng, and the grain and grass could be sent to Yicheng, temporarily alleviating the urgent need of Emperor Han Xian's team. After the news was announced, the team of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, who had eaten worse than Yang Changshi, was of course thunderous, and they were full of confidence in successfully arriving in Jizhou and obtaining the protection of the three dukes of Dayuan.

Of course, the moon is cloudy and sunny, and not everyone is in a good mood, at least Jia Lao Poison has always been worried, and his face is worried, and Yang Feng and Xu Huang also immediately scolded after learning about Dong Zhao, I just hate that I couldn't slaughter this Erwuzi who eats inside and out! And after finally finishing the scolding, Yang Feng Shao had to express his gratitude to our Yang Changshi and Jia Lao Poison, thanking them for finding out Dong Zhao, the internal annihilation of the Cao army, and avoiding the human tragedy that the march route was known in advance by Boss Cao.

In the face of the sincere thanks of Yang Feng, Han Xian and others, our Yang Changshi was of course triumphant, looking like a villain, but Jia Lao Poison was not happy, just shook his head, and said in a worried tone: "General Che Cai doesn't have to be polite, as a Hanchen, it should be so, but Dong Zhao's matter is definitely not over, because we don't know whether this thief leaked our route to Jizhou to the Cao thief team in advance, and I don't know if the Cao thief team has set an ambush trap on our way?" ”

"Mr. Wenhe is right, this has to be guarded against." Yang Feng nodded, and then turned to Han Xian next to him and complained: "Old Han, your temper just can't be changed, if you catch Dong Zhao's thief, you must at least torture the situation before you do it, just killing him like this is a relief, but we have no way of knowing what military information this thief leaked to Cao Thief." ”

"It's my fault, I was so angry that I didn't think so much about it." Han Xian was also refreshed, calmly admitted his impulse, and said: "But it doesn't matter, whether Dong Thief leaked the news to Cao Thief or not, can we just go another way?" ”

"You can't change lanes." Jia Xu shook his head, his face was more worried, and said: "Our team lacks war horses, there are many old and weak women and children, and we also carry a large number of imperial classics and royal things, the marching speed is not fast, if you abandon the avenue and take the path, the marching speed will only be slower, once the two thieves of Li Dao and Guo Yan lead the troops to chase, they are only afraid of ......." ”

Yang Feng, Han Xian and the others all closed their mouths, they all knew that Jia Xu's worries were all true, but our Yang Changshi didn't care, and said: "Yang Cheqi, Han Zhengdong, Mr. Wenhe, I take the liberty to suggest, I can go to Boxian to Yewang first, directly replenish the grain and grass in Yewang, and then go north to Yucheng to take the official road." In this way, as long as we can reach the wild king before Li Guo and the two thieves catch up, it will be safe, and when the time comes, we can go, and if we can't go, we will stick to the wild king and wait for reinforcements. ”

Listening to Yang Changshi's words, Yang Feng and Han Xian both nodded - the most critical reason why Yang Feng and others abandoned Luoyang was that Luoyang lacked food and the city was dilapidated, so they could not last for a long time, and they had to abandon Luoyang and run to Hanoi, and Yewang had food and city protection, so it was really impossible to hold on to Yewang and wait for reinforcements, so Yang Feng, Han Xian and Dong Cheng and others did not hesitate, nor did they ask Jia Xu's opinion again, and immediately unanimously decided to send Emperor Han Xian to Yewang first, and immediately sent messengers to Yewang, Inform Zhang Yang to get ready for the drive.

When Yang Feng and the others made this decision, Jia Xu was always expressionless, and after glancing at Yang Changshi, Jia Xu couldn't help muttering in his heart: "This guy is really ruthless enough, I think Uncle Zhang Ya's strength has not been weakened enough, and all the troubles must be brought to Uncle Zhang Ya to be comfortable." ”

"But it's not that easy." Jia Xu secretly pondered in his heart again: "It is true that Uncle Zhang Ya is a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, but he is not loyal to the point of stupidity, this time in order to escort the driver, he has made so many sacrifices, how can he continue to bury the Son of Heaven?" This time, even if Uncle Zhang Ya is willing, he is afraid that his subordinates will not be willing to do so. ”

In the mouth of the crow who was poisoned by Jia Lao, the next day, when Yang Feng and others listened to Yang Changshi's bad idea to abandon the official road and take the path, not only did the marching speed drop a lot, but they did not arrive at the small town of Bo County, which had long been abandoned in the war, until the afternoon arrived, and before Emperor Han Xian's team crossed the water, Zhang Yang sent someone to send the news, saying that in view of the main force of Cao thief crossing the river, Hanoi County was in an emergency, and he could only quickly lead the army to rush to Huai County to rescue, so please ask Emperor Han Xian not to move the wild king who is already an empty city, Continue to take the official road to Jizhou according to the original plan, promised to pay tribute to Emperor Han Xian's 500 grains, and he has already sent his henchmen to send them to Yucheng, just waiting for Emperor Han Xian's team to arrive to get supplies.

Hearing this news, the dream of going to Yewang to eat a dry meal was disappointed, of course our Yang Changshi was struck by lightning, Yang Feng, Han Xian and Dong Cheng were so anxious that they stomped their feet, scolded Zhang Yang and were confused, not in a hurry to welcome the Son of Heaven but to save Huaixian, it was simply confused! Only Jia Xu was silent, knowing that Zhang Yang had finally made up his mind to protect himself - at this time, to welcome Emperor Han Xian to his side to escort him, didn't he take the initiative to seduce Li Dao, Guo Yan and Cao Boss to beat Zhang Yang? The Zhang Yang team, who has been greatly injured in the escort incident, dare to think that there will be a future?

No matter how much you scold, it was useless, Zhang Yang had already run away with the team and food, and it was useless for the team of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, who was short of food and few soldiers, to continue to rush to Yewang, so Yang Feng and Dong Cheng and other loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty had no choice but to change back to the original plan of marching and take the official road to Yucheng to supply grain and grass. Fortunately, Bo County is not far from the official road of Hanoi in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and walked the ** mile road to the north, and when it was dark, it had already turned to the official road, and camped outside the city of Mishui, which was also already a ruin, and rested overnight.

The sky is getting dark, Emperor Han Xian and others, who were exhausted by Yang Changshi's bad ideas, rested early, and the temporary camp was full of snoring, in addition to the footsteps of the patrol soldiers, there were only occasional hunger moans and crying, the atmosphere was dull and miserable, and people couldn't help crying, and Jia Xu, who was forced to join this team, was also very worried, sitting alone in his small tent with his knees crossed, and he didn't feel sleepy for a long time.

"Is Mr. Wenhe here? Under Yang Hong asked to see. At this time, Yang Changshi's familiar sycophant voice suddenly sounded outside the small tent, hearing this voice, Jia Xu first smiled slightly, first said in his heart that he finally came, and then replied: "Yes, Mr. Zhongming, please come in." ”

The curtain was opened, and our Yang Changshi sneaked in, and saw Jia Xu sitting alone on the seat, Yang Changshi suddenly looked happy, nodded and said: "I'm really sorry to disturb Mr. Wenhe so late, but I can't think of it, it's almost the second shift, and Mr. Wenhe hasn't rested yet." ”

"I can't sleep, I don't want to sleep." Jia Xu invited Yang Changshi to sit opposite him, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhongming is finally here, it seems that Mr. Zhongming has also received the news." ”

"Got a message? What message do you receive? Yang Changshi was confused by Jia Xu again.

"Now that the matter has come to this, Mr. doesn't have to hide it anymore, right?" Jia Xu smiled gently, stretched out his hand to Yang Changshi again, and said, "Sir, please bring it, Xu has been waiting for a long time." ”

"Take what?" Our Yang Changshi is completely confused.

Jia Xu didn't like Yang Changshi's temper of knowing everything and pretending not to understand anything, and said quite dissatisfied: "Of course it's Tao Yuanjun's letter to the subordinates, if Mr. hadn't received the news that Li Guo and the two thieves had crossed the Yellow River with the whole army today, and knew that Li Dao and Guo Yan had already made up their minds to pursue and kill our army, could you send Tao Yuanjun's letter now?" ”

"How did Mr. Wenhe know about my father-in-law and you?" Yang Changshi was shocked.

"Of course, Yang Cheqi told me." Jia Xu said lightly: "Mr. Zhongming has a letter from Tao Envoy Jun in his hand, but he has not handed it over to him for a long time, isn't Mr. waiting for this opportunity when the situation is extremely critical?" Although Xu is stupid, he also knows that Mr. Zhong Ming must have a deep meaning in doing so. ”

"Yang Feng, that long-tongued woman, is really mouthy! It seems that Tao Ying's little thief has a gift to give to Jia Wenhe, and he must have been told to Jia Wenhe by Yang Feng, a long-tongued woman! Yang Changshi, who originally planned to embezzle Tao Ying's gift to Jia Xu, was angry in his heart, but the matter has been exposed, and our Yang Changshi is embarrassed to continue to embezzle no matter how thick-skinned he is, so he can only smile incomprehensibly, pretend to reach into his arms to get the letter, and then pretend to be surprised and embarrassed and said: "Don't blame Mr. Wenhe, when you changed your clothes just now, you may have put the letter at the head of the bed and forgot to bring it, but it doesn't matter, let someone pick it up in the next place." ”

"A wise man thinks a thousand times, and there must be a mistake, and Xu has made similar mistakes, no hindrance." Jia Xu, who has indeed forgotten things, is very generous, and he has not seen our Yang Changshi in general. Our Yang Changshi breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly went out of the account to explain to the accompanying soldier Wang Wu to go back to the account to get the letter and gifts-and then secretly explained that half of those valuable gifts were deducted, Wang Wu sang the promise and left, and our Yang Changshi returned to the small account and sat back opposite Jia Xu again.

smiled at Jia Xu very embarrassedly, seeing Jia Xu silently waiting for himself to speak, our Yang Changshi gritted his teeth and made up his mind, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Wenhe, please forgive me, I have only known Mr. for a few years, and I shouldn't have talked deeply, but the situation has reached this point, and there are some things that should not be said, and I have to confide in Mr. in the future." ”

"Mr. Zhongming, please have something to say, don't have any scruples, listen to your ears in the next place." Seeing that Yang Changshi, who had always been hidden, finally stopped pretending to be confused, Jia Xu was also a little happy.

"Mr. Wenhe, at the moment, we have Cao thieves blocking the road in front of us, and Li Guo and two thieves chasing after us, and we want to escort the Son of Heaven through Hanoi to Jizhou smoothly, I'm afraid it's impossible." Yang Changshi asked straight to the point: "I don't know what Mr. thinks?" ”

"It's almost impossible." Not pretending to be confused in front of smart people, Jia Xu also replied calmly: "If Xu is not bad as expected, at the latest tomorrow night, Li Dao and Guo Yan and the two thieves will be able to catch up with us, even if Yang Feng, Han Xian, and Dong Cheng give up their lives, the hope of killing and repelling the pursuers of Li Guo and the two thieves is very small, and the disparity between strength and weakness is too large, which is doomed." And even if we are lucky enough to get rid of Li Dao Guo Yan's pursuers, we will inevitably be intercepted by Cao Ying's army, and if we want to break through the interception of Cao Ying's army, unless there is a miracle, the disparity between strength and weakness will be even greater, and it cannot be reversed by strategy. ”

"What Mr. Wenhe said is extremely true, and I think the same is true!" Seeing that Jia Xu, who is famous all over the world, agrees with his own proposition, Yang Changshi, who is notorious in Huainan and Xuzhou, is of course overjoyed, and said busily: "I also think that even if our army wants to hold on to help, it is impossible for our army to hold on to help, Hanoi is close to Luoyang, as early as Dong Zhuo's rebellion, it was often looted and destroyed by the rebel army, there are ruins everywhere, and there are no people everywhere, several cities that barely have some city defense and grain are too far away, our army has neither soldiers nor food, and the five hundred grains prepared by Zhang Yang in front are a drop in the bucket, It is almost impossible to wait for the arrival of reinforcements from Ben Chu Gong. ”

Jia Xu nodded silently, admitting that what Yang Changshi said was exactly what he was worried about. After nodding, Jia Xu asked Yang Changshi tentatively: "Then I don't know if Mr. Zhongming can teach him, and can Mr. Zhongming have a clever plan to solve this dilemma?" ”

Contrary to Jia Xu's expectations, our Yang Changshi finally didn't pretend to be confused this time, and lowered his voice and said: "Don't dare to be a clever plan, the carving insect subplan has been found in the future, although it can't resolve the current dilemma, but it is also eighty percent sure, so that the Son of Heaven can avoid the front and back pursuit of the three thieves of Cao, Li and Guo, and get out of danger and leave Hanoi." ”

"Mr. Zhongming, please." Jia Xu also lowered his voice.

"Four words, the golden cicada is out of its shell." Yang Changshi replied in a low voice: "Please ask the Son of Heaven to disguise himself as ordinary people, and then leave the brigade under the protection of a small group of elite soldiers, Yang Cheqi and Han Zhengdong They led the brigade to take the official road and continue to go north to Jizhou, attracting Li Dao, Guo Yan and Cao Thief to chase after him, and the Son of Heaven took the small road to Jizhou, and then asked Yang Cheqi and Han Zhengdong to secretly prepare to create a fire at a critical moment, leaving a fake corpse similar to the Son of Heaven to confuse the thief army and create the illusion that the Son of Heaven is dead." In this way, the three thieves of Li Dao, Guo Yan and Cao Ying will no longer block the tail chase, which can not only allow the Son of Heaven to get rid of the pursuit and leave Hanoi, but also Yang Cheqi and Han Zhengdong can also take the opportunity to go to Jizhou. ”

"Awesome!" Jia Xu, who had also considered this strategy, was amazed in his heart, and said secretly: "In the end, the real person does not show his face, and the appearance is not a real person, and the intention is really clever - let the Son of Heaven leave Hanoi, let Yang Feng and Han Xian go to Jizhou, so that the praying mantis catches the cicada with one hand, and the yellow finch is behind!" That's naïve, though! ”

After muttering in his heart, Jia Xu sighed and said, "Although Mr. Zhong Ming's plan to get rid of the golden cicada is clever and absolutely feasible, Yang Feng and Han Xian will never listen!" Please think about it, if Mr. Yang Bong Han is Siam, how can he allow the Son of Heaven to leave alone and leave their control? ”

Hearing Jia Xu's words, our Yang Changshi's heart suddenly cooled down, and then he realized that he was thinking too naïve-how could Yang Feng and Han Xian allow Emperor Han Xian to leave the team disguised as a common person? But just when our Yang Changshi was about to laugh at himself, Jia Xu's heart moved like Deputy Director Tao, and blurted out: "Huh? How did I get into the horns? This plan is actually feasible! ”

"Feasible?" Yang Changshi's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "Is Mr. Wenhe sure that he can persuade Yang Cheqi and Han Zhengdong to act according to the plan?" Don't hide it, I came to meet Mr. secretly tonight, that is, I was self-aware, I knew that I was powerless to persuade the Son of Heaven and Yang Zhengdong to act according to the plan, and I knew that the Son of Heaven and Yang Cheqi respected Mr. very much, so I came to ask Mr. to help persuade him! ”

"No one can convince Yang Cheqi and Han Zhengdong, and there is nothing they can do." Jia Xu shook his head, smiled again and said, "But there is one person, Xu can persuade him to act according to the plan!" And he also has the ability and opportunity to act according to the plan, concealing Li Dao, Guo Yan, Cao Mengde, and even Yang Feng, Han Xian, and successfully sending the Son of Heaven disguised as an ordinary person out of danger. ”

"Who?"

Yang Changshi almost opened his mouth to ask this stupid sentence that would definitely make Jia Xu lower his evaluation of him, but our Yang Changshi's luck has always been good, and it just so happened that at this time, Li Lang and Wang Wu sent Deputy Director Tao's letters and gifts to Jia Xu, and stopped Yang Changshi's stupid words in time when they asked to see him outside the tent. Immediately afterwards, Li Lang and Wang Wu sent letters and gifts into the small tent, and the intimate letter from our deputy director Tao to our favorite friend Jia Lao Poison was finally delivered to Jia Xu after going through thousands of difficulties and countless twists and turns-not easy, if our Yang Changshi hadn't arrived in Jizhou yet, he would have burned the letter.

Because he has never met Jia Xu and has no friendship, of course, our Deputy Director Tao did not directly say anything about solicitation in the letter to Jia Xu, in addition to expressing respect for Jia Xu and other rhetoric, and then carefully inviting Jia Xu to sit in Xuzhou, he must greet him upside down and try his best to entertain, very vaguely revealing a little solicitation - of course, Deputy Director Tao's solicitation words are obscure, and when he sees Jia Xu's eyes, his heart is naturally like a mirror.

After carefully reading Deputy Director Tao's letter, and then looking at Deputy Director Tao's gift that was still extremely valuable after being deducted half by Yang Changshike, Jia Xu had some bottom in his heart, and after a little calculation, Jia Xu finally made up his mind and whispered to our Yang Changshi and said solemnly: "Tao Envoy Jun's heavy gifts and kindness, Xu have accepted it, please rest assured Mr. Zhongming, Mr. Xu's intentions are clear, and Xu should help Mr. achieve what he wants, but whether it succeeds or not, Xu is not very sure, he can only do his best, whether it succeeds or not, it is up to fate!" ”

"Thank you, Mr. Wenhe, thank you, Mr. Wenhe!" Yang Changshi's thin face turned into a chrysanthemum, and he said in his heart: "Mr. Wenhe has done his best to help, it seems that the hope of sending the Son of Heaven to Jizhou has increased greatly." Ben Chu Gong, I will give you today, and I will also bring the famous Jia Xu Jia Wenhe to you, you must reward me heavily! ”

After making up his mind, Jia Xu didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately got up and saluted and said: "Mr. Zhong Ming can go back and prepare first, Jing Hou Jiayin, and then go to see Uncle Dong Guo and persuade him to act according to Mr. 's plan, but other things must wait until the Son of Heaven is rescued. ”

"Escort south? Jia Wenhe, who is still fucking, Jizhou doesn't know in the north, but that's it! Yang Changshi despised Jia Xu in his heart, but he didn't show it, he just got up and returned the salute, and said with a smile: "Then thank you Mr. Wenhe, thank you for your kindness, after the matter is completed, Yang Hong will definitely repay Mr. heavily." As for Hong's preparations, don't hide it from Mr. Hong, in fact, Hong had prepared enough people's clothes as early as when he was in Luoyang City, and he could disguise himself as a common person to escort him away at any time. ”

After finishing speaking, our Yang Changshi added another sentence in his stomach, "I really can't kidnap the Son of Heaven, and it is convenient for Lord Ben to disguise himself as a common person to escape for his life, such an important preparation, how could Lord Ben forget it?" ”

"Ready as early as in Luoyang City? Sure enough, I am determined to win! Jia Xu, who admired Yang Changshi more and more, also praised it in his heart.
